First pitch

It's always good getting in the first ball game of the season. In this case, it was even more special. Colin's grandparents, visiting from New Hampshire, joined us for what's becoming a tradition -- taking in a Tampa Yankees game.

Rather than drive over to Tampa, though, we made the drive to Dunedin, where the Blue Jays, the Advanced-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, played host to last year's Florida State League champions.

And though we left early -- it was a school night, after all -- Colin scored his first team ball of the summer campaign, getting autographs from 19 players:

B.J. LaMura, Yan Gomes and Henderson Alvarez;

Frank Gailey, Tyler Pastornicky, Darold Knowles, Ryan Page and Justin Jackson;

Raul Barron, Adeiny Hechavarria (we believe), Welinton Ramirez, unidentified; and

Travis d'Arnaud, Al Quintana, unidentified, Brian Van Kirk, Justin McClanahan, Kevin Ahrens and Dan Perales.
